What to Do If I Become the Villain's Daughter

35

Huo Xiaozheng sprang to his feet with a start.

"What's going on?"

He strode quickly downstairs, his tone urgent.

Aunt Xu had never quite gotten used to Huo Xiaozheng's handsome but excessively cold face.

Now, seeing his furious expression, Aunt Xu felt like crying: "I'm not sure either. The young miss was just eating breakfast, and in the time it took me to warm up some milk for her, I came out to find her slumped over the table."

Fortunately, Huo Ning's dining chair was custom-made, which prevented her from falling off.

Otherwise...

Aunt Xu stole a glance at Huo Xiaozheng's face, not daring to think further.

Huo Ning lay on the living room sofa. Huo Xiaozheng called her name several times, but she showed no signs of waking.

On the coffee table, Ningning's frequently used iPad was still playing cartoons.

Huo Xiaozheng opened the background pages.

That news article appeared in his line of sight.

Huo Xiaozheng's hand, gripping the iPad, showed bulging veins.

"Mr. Huo, shouldn't we take Ningning to the hospital first?" Xi Chuan, seeing the situation, immediately advised.

Huo Xiaozheng grunted in agreement.

"Xi Chuan, go back to the company and calm down those protesting employees. Find out what's really going on and call me if anything comes up."

Xi Chuan looked troubled: "Mr. Huo, at this critical moment, if you're not there..."

Huo Xiaozheng glared at him: "If the company would collapse without me, why am I paying you all so much?"

Xi Chuan was left speechless, not daring to argue further.

Huo Xiaozheng drove the car like it was an airplane, arriving at Anzhen Children's Hospital with a screech of tires that left a cloud of dust in its wake.

Medical staff were already waiting at the emergency entrance.

Huo Xiaozheng carried Huo Ning out of the car and handed her over to the medical personnel.

No sooner had they entered the ward than Shen Shiyan followed close behind.

He put on his white coat while asking, "What happened?"

Huo Xiaozheng briefly explained the situation.

Shen Shiyan: "This shouldn't be happening. Emotional fluctuations are normal, but for chest pain to occur again..."

He frowned, unable to figure it out for the moment.

"Dr. Shen, the child's vital signs are all stable. The physical examination shows no abnormalities so far, and the ECG doesn't indicate any signs of myocardial infarction," the attending physician reported.

It was as Shen Shiyan had expected. He nodded and performed his own examination.

"The patient's main symptoms are chest pain and syncope. Please further rule out any cardiac and cerebral issues."

"Understood."

After giving instructions, Shen Shiyan took Huo Xiaozheng aside.

Huo Xiaozheng asked, "How is she?"

Shen Shiyan gave him a reassuring look: "It's probably the old problem. Nothing too serious."

"By the way, I set up an appointment with a psychologist for you last time. Why didn't you bring Ningning?"
